  1. The rather interesting JU 52 from Revell shows the "passenger" door forward hinged. If you are going to be dropping meat bombs over Crete, I would imagine that a forward hinged door may be a tad inconvenient. Was the door removed for paratrooping or has Revell got it wrong? Maybe correct for civil versions but not military?
  2. It has been a pleasure reading this thread. I recall mooching around at the LMS in Brooklyn Pretoria, aged about 9 with my bicycle propped against a lamp post and clutching my 50c pocket money. With that I could by a Frog model and glue - paint didn't actually enter the equation... pedal home in a huge hurry and build the thing in about 20 minutes. Most of them got blown up with tom thumb crackers. That would be 54 years ago but I still get models delivered by courier, costing a tad more than 50c, and cant wait to open them
